Celebrate National Library Worker Day by Submitting a Star
by White, Shannon (MDE) 05 Apr '17

05 Apr '17

National Library Workers Day is April 11. Celebrate by recognizing a local Michigan library worker! See below for details. Do you know any library workers who should be recognized for the great work they do, their positive outlook, or how the wonderful way they assist patrons? Consider submitting their names to the ALA-APA Galaxy of Stars as part of National Library Workers Day celebration. National Library Workers Day (NLWD) is Tuesday, April 11, 2017. It is a day for library staff, users, administrators and Friends groups to recognize the valuable contributions made by all library workers. The ALA-APA, American Library Association Allied Professional Association, helps libraries and individuals prepare to celebrate by featuring a range of creative suggestions on its website. The National Library Workers Day webpage encourages friends, patrons, employers and co-workers to "Submit a Star" by providing a brief testimonial about a favorite library employee. Each testimonial (listing first names, library type and city/state location only) will be posted on the NLWD's Galaxy of Stars page. You may nominate as many library workers as you like. Has your library celebrated National Library Workers Day in the past? Is your library planning to recognize and honor your library workers this year? Tell us about your plans. Please send your ideas and information to libraryworklife(a)ala.org<mailto:libraryworklife@ala.org>. They will be posted in Library Worklife, the official newsletter of the ALA-APA. Be sure to share your celebrations on Twitter, using #NLWD17 and/or post to the NLWD Facebook page. There's still time to plan your celebrations to recognize library workers everywhere. Let's take the time to show our appreciation for those fantastic library stars!

Washtenaw Community College Library
by Liu, Victor 05 Apr '17

05 Apr '17

Michigan library colleagues, As I've decided to retire early from Washtenaw Community College (WCC) in mid-July 2017, I'd like to say my fond farewell to the Michigan library community. It has been a pleasure to have the opportunity to work with dedicated library professionals like you. I'd like to draw your attention to the fact that the Executive Director of Library position at WCC will be open and posted in the near future (please see https://jobs.wccnet.edu) I strongly encourage qualified candidates to apply. Located on the east side of Ann Arbor, which places a premium on education, Washtenaw Community College has an outstanding reputation and has enjoyed strong community support, along with a stable revenue base and enrollment. The library has been a beneficiary of all that in many ways. In addition, the college administration appreciates the library's integral role in the teaching and learning landscape. The competitive compensation package and desirable location are added benefits of the position. My warmest wishes to all of your library endeavors. Victor Liu Dean, Learning Resources Washtenaw Community College 4800 East Huron River Dr. Ann Arbor, MI 48105 (P) 734-973-3379 (F) 734-973-3446 (E) vliu(a)wccnet.edu<mailto:vliu@wccnet.edu> [http://webfiles.wccnet.edu/marketing/identity/images/in-page/logo-single-li…]
